Tips to Fix the PS3 No Sound Issue

Its a lot less fun when you cant hear anything form your PS3. Here are 3 tips to get a PS3 no sound fix!

1) Check for loose cables. If you find any push them back in. Be sure to check the connections on the TV too.

2) Check the TV to see if it is on mute.

3) Check the TV's settings. Sometimes it is not the PS3 that is to blame, try using the PS3 on another TV, if you get audio then maybe something is wrong with the first TV.

4) Try using another cable to connect your PS3 to the TV. Maybe the cable is defective.

5) Sometimes the console's settings can cause the PS3 no sound. Try resetting the console. To do this press and hold the power button for 5 seconds until you hear 2 beeps.

If all these don't give you a PS3 no sound fix then you have a more serious problem. Now how do you fix the PS3 then? Well you are basically left with 2 options:

*Send your console to Sony
*Get a PS3 repair guide and fix the console yourself

Send your console to Sony
This seems like the most practical and best idea right? The creator will be repairing the console and you should get a 3 month warranty on it when you get it back. However they will charge you around$150 to use their service (unless your console is under warranty). Also you will have to wait 4-6 weeks to get your console back and when you do you'll notice that all your hard drive data is gone; Sony wipes your hard drive before they return it to you.

• Money back guarantee so if the guide doesn't work you can get your money back
• 1 hour fixes...although it may vary depending on your problem
